This is one of my favorite patterns. You know I love collecting fat quarters. Not only can you make one of these adorable baskets using 2 fat quarters, but then the basket is the perfect size for holding more fat quarters.
They are also the perfect size for patterns, unfinished projects, and pom poms!
So let’s look at the FQ Sized Fold Up Baskets that I saw on Instagram…
Hopefully some cute kiddo will be inspired to put her (or his) toys away in this cute basket sewn by dituttocuore.cucito.
Raingirl1963 made all these matching polka dot baskets – I love them!
And look who took my idea of filling the basket with fat quarters??? It’s juneeb_designs! 🙂
Everything is prettier in Liberty fabrics. The proof is in this basket by alexduenkel.
My kids would LOVE these Harry Potter themed baskets by frayedseams.
And finally, here are more fat quarter filled baskets! These were sewn by nichi65.

Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!

I’ve been sewing, and sewing, and sewing but I’m not finished yet. This is my friendship star quilt that I’m making using the blocks I made with my easy Friendship Star Block Tutorial. The fabrics are from the Grace collection by Anna Griffin. Aren’t they gorgeous?
I first learned about the quilters of Gee’s Bend a couple years ago, African-American women from a community in deep-South Alabama that was isolated for many years. They made quilts to keep their children and grandchildren warm and did it without rotary cutters, mats, or fancy sewing machines.
Sew an easy DIY phone case that is also a wallet! Sometimes you want to carry a purse – when you think you might need all that stuff you’ve got saved in there – and sometimes all you need is your phone and a couple cards.
What’s a mystery quilt retreat? Have you ever been to one? I stumbled into one last weekend and had a ball. Here are all the ins and outs, what you should bring, what you should ask, and what you should…
{Warning: this post is not about sewing, and it’s the content is very personal. 99% of my posts are about sewing though so come back tomorrow for some stitch-love. Today I just want to share with you something that I created for my family to help us start the school year off with the right focus.}
Sew a darling mug caddy to store sewing notions, office tools, or art supplies with just one or 2 fat quarters of fabric! There are 5 pockets around the outside of the fabric mug cover, plus an inside layer to show off more pretty fabric.
